Important! Are you getting thread reply notification emails?

[admin]

I'm trying to debug some forum errors, one of which is email related ...
-- especially the emails members get when their thread, or threads they've participated in, are replied to.

You should get this email:

Please let us know if you ARE or if you ARE NOT getting these emails.

My own tests of the system all passed. However, one person has some issues. (We're trying to track those down currently, to see if it's us, or the recipient mail server.)

Thanks

I'm getting the notification emails. Thank you

I received 2 notifications yesterday. Thread notification in my profile was turned off more than a year ago, so these are the first I've received since then.

[Winsordawson]

I too have been getting reply notifications.

[NJRoadfan]

I get them, but I'd like to submit a bug. I shouldn't be getting thread reply notifications if I was the one who posted the reply to begin with!

I'm getting them again now, when you guys upgraded your mail server gmail flagged it for spam

Received 6 this morning to my Gmail inbox. I wasn't receiving them previously and had wondered what the problem was.

From what we can tell, only Gmail is being b!tchy about the new mail server settings. Some mail may have been diverted to the spam folder for Gmail users for the past few days. Just check it, and mark us as safe or "not spam".

It's good to hear that, hopefully, Gmail is seeing the error of its ways, if the mail is now landing in the inbox.

What's really odd is that the new settings are more secure than the old ones (via SMTP + DKIM), so Gmail should love the new settings! Other ISPs, freemails, and indy mail servers are not having any issue that we can see. In fact, deliverability is now better. Previously, all reply mail had been sent using the simple mail() protocol required by IIS6. That setting was actually an oversight made years -- all other site mail had been SMTP the entire time, as allowed in IIS7.

I think Gmail was marking it "suspicious" since the settings changed after 5 years. Which is stupid, of course.

I've never liked Gmail.

I like the old gmail since they've "updated it" its just a fancy turd now. but it seems to be fine once I mark you guys safe. Thanks for the work kp, admin and LS
